Chapter 107 Moon Viewing Time
Tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet took place in the front garden, adorned with a picturesque beauty. Lanterns hung high, a gentle breeze blew, and moonlight streamed across the garden, casting a tranquil glow that seemed to drape the entire scene in a silver veil. Gathered around the meticulously arranged banquet, they savored delicious dishes and mooncakes, sipping fragrant wine. The entire garden was enveloped in a warm and festive atmosphere.
Everyone enthusiastically wrote poems and lyrics, vying to showcase their talents. Not to be outdone, Lu Ling'er, with a playful glint in her eyes and a mischievous smile on her face, recited the catchy verse: "Ten hearts think of you, my country, and my people. Eight eyes admire you, admiring the flowers, the moon, and Ling'er." Her voice was clear and melodious, full of childlike innocence and playfulness, making everyone laugh. Her verse, both poetic and laced with a hint of playful humor, had everyone laughing.
Gu Yazhu's eyes narrowed in laughter, her heart filled with joy. She clapped her hands and praised, "Ling'er is truly our happy pill!" She knew that Ling'er's humor and wisdom were rare in this family. She hoped Ling'er could maintain her innocence and fill the family with laughter. She also hoped Ling'er would continue to study hard and become a talented and insightful woman.
Despite his age, Ji Huaide's face still beamed with admiration. He gazed at his great-grandson's wife, his heart filled with joy. Lu Ling'er's humor and amusing words delighted him greatly. However, he was even more pleasantly surprised by her remarkable talent and intelligence. He couldn't help but think that Gu Yichen was truly fortunate to have found such a woman as his wife. However, he also began to worry: Would Lu Ling'er's independence and intelligence put some pressure on Gu Yichen? After all, there was still much potential to be tapped.
Gu Yichen sat silently by the side, savoring the poem Lu Ling'er had just recited, taking in its profound meaning. At that moment, it dawned on him: every word and smile of Lu Ling'er touched his heart. He realized that the depression and low mood he had been feeling for the past few days seemed to have dissipated with her laughter. At that moment, he felt a surge of hope and longing for the future.
Yun Ruoxi and Yun Ruolin were also impressed by Lu Linger's medical skills. Especially after learning about her detoxification experience, they immediately surrounded her and gratefully requested, "Third sister-in-law, you are truly our savior. Can you teach us some secrets to beauty and health?"
Seeing their enthusiasm, Lu Linger smiled and nodded, "Of course. However, the secret to skin care and blood nourishment lies not only in prescriptions, but also in daily conditioning and lifestyle habits."
Seeing his wife being entangled by her two sisters, Gu Yichen felt anxious. He had originally wanted to take advantage of the beautiful evening to get close to Lu Linger and maintain their relationship, but his two sisters' inquiries interrupted him. Reluctantly, he turned to his mother, Gu Yazhu, for help.
Seeing her son's anxious look, Gu Yazhu couldn't help but laugh. She said tactfully, "Ruoxi, Ruolin, it's already late. Skin care also requires adequate sleep. Go back and rest quickly so Ling'er can relax too."
The two sisters left reluctantly. Gu Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lu Linger back to their yard with some anticipation.
On the way back to his room, Gu Yichen's heart was still filled with mixed emotions. He hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "It's a bit windy tonight. Remember to put on more clothes and don't catch a cold. You know you're susceptible to colds."
Hearing this, Lu Ling'er's face lit up with a smile, as beautiful as a spring flower blooming. She couldn't help but recall their wedding night, when Gu Yichen had held her cold feet against his body to warm them, a thought that had left her mad for days. Although they now slept in separate rooms, she still felt a warmth in her heart, like a spring breeze, warm and pleasant.
Gu Yichen nodded after hearing Lu Linger's words and immediately went to prepare hot water himself. He fetched the boiled water from the kitchen and carefully poured it into the tub, then adjusted the water temperature to ensure it was just right, like a gardener carefully caring for flowers.
Soon after, Lu Ling'er changed into soft pajamas and quickly returned to the bedroom. She left a message for Gu Yichen: "I'm done washing, you should go too," and then walked out of the bedroom. Gu Yichen watched her leave, and a sense of loss rose in his heart, like a gust of cold wind, chilling his bones. He knew that Lu Ling'er had returned to the study or the side room, and he had to stay alone in the empty room.
He quietly adjusted the hot water and entered the bathroom, enjoying the comfort of the hot water. While soaking in the tub, he closed his eyes and immersed himself in the memories of the sweet times in the past, imagining that they could return to the days when they were so close, like a wanderer longing to return to his hometown.
Gu Yichen soaked in the hot water in the bathroom, his body and mind gradually relaxing. Suddenly, he felt hands gently massaging his shoulders. The gentle touch was like a soft feather, gently brushing against his heart, making him feel warm. He was not surprised, but instead, a smile involuntarily curled up at the corner of his mouth. The familiar aroma lingered at the tip of his nose. It was not just the smell of incense, but also Lu Linger's unique body fragrance.
Every time he was intimate with her, the scent grew stronger, like a magical power that intoxicated him. When Lu Ling'er approached, Gu Yichen's heartbeat quickened, beating like a playful rabbit against his chest. He gently raised his hand and grasped Lu Ling'er's small hand, feeling her warmth, as if spring sunshine were radiating upon his own.
He stood up from the bathtub and turned around to see Lu Ling'er wearing a red gauze dress with thin straps. She was looming, like a blooming flower, exuding an enchanting fragrance. Especially on her waist, there was a birthmark in the shape of a small phoenix, which was faintly shimmering with a faint light, like a dazzling gem, inlaid on her skin. This light seemed to be closely connected with her emotional state. Whenever she was emotional, the birthmark would emit a gentle glow, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, making her even more charming. Gu Yichen was stunned, unable to look away, as if he was deeply attracted by her beauty. He didn't say anything more, and directly picked up Lu Ling'er as a princess. Her body was as light as a feather, and his movements were smooth and graceful, as if they were dancers on the stage, cooperating tacitly and skillfully. Lu Ling'er hooked her hands around his neck and said to him charmingly: "Husband, you haven't dried your body yet."
Gu Yichen had completely lost his mind at this moment, his only thought being to satisfy their needs as quickly as possible. The two of them immersed themselves in the warmth and intimacy of the night, savoring their first Mid-Autumn Festival after marriage and Gu Yichen's birthday. Time slipped by, the sky gradually turned pale outside the window, and they finally fell asleep in each other's arms. Gu Yichen held his wife tightly, enjoying the most peaceful and restful sleep he had in half a month.
